Title: EARTH AND WATER SONG Artist: HUMBLE PIE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: James McKinnon.
From the 1970 Album: 'Humble Pie'
Lovely acoustic song almost entirely attributable to Peter Frampton,
surely rock's most underrated guitarist. I haven't gone right into the
fully transcribed tab thing, mainly because I'm not that good at time
signatures, so it's basically the main chord progressions. All little
flourishes and twirls can be heard from the record.
Intro: (Basically a D chord, then to Am).
Note: 6th (Lower 'E' string) is not sounded at any stage during
Intro or verses. First or High 'E' can be sounded in
passing, where not shown.

Rest of verses:
I'll take your word
That a moonbeam can be heard
Time passes by
But my heart still stays the same
She came just like the sun
I know she is mine, I know.
You see the stars and yet
I am the Earth and she is my water.
Yeah, I am the Earth and she is my water.
I'll take your word
That your moon has moved away
Don't look ahead for me,
I'll wait my turn
I am the Earth and she is my water.
I have found all I need is my love
In the day, oh! at night
and in the morning.
She can tell when I'm down.
I'll sing this song
When things are wrong.
I live from day to day
Who knows what tomorrow may bring?
Love and fate run hand in hand.
I know there must be a better land.
I know there must be a better land.
